By fighting climate change, small islands discover wealth in the ocean

But there are glimmers of hope: So-called Small Island Developing States are among the most impacted by the climate crisis. The countries of St. Lucia, Comoros and Vanuatu are teaming up and turning a threat into a fresh start. They call themselves Big Ocean States.

The Small Islands Developing States Ecosystem Restoration Flagship has been recognized as a World Restoration Flagship under the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.

These initiatives represent Earth’s frontiers of hope, as countries agreed to a new Global Biodiversity Framework. Under the agreement, countries promise to protect 30% of the planet’s lands and seas, and bringing back 20% from degradation.
